Configuring a Wireless Client for WEP
If you enabled WEP and set a key by configuring WEP on the SBG901, you must
configure the same WEP key on each wireless client. The SBG901 cannot authenticate a
client if:
Shared Key Authentication is enabled on the SBG901 but not on the client
The client WEP key does not match the SBG901 WEP key
For all wireless adapters, you must enter the 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key generated by the
SBG901.
CAUTION:
Never provide the WEP key to anyone who is not authorized
to use your WLAN.
Configuring a Wireless Client with the Network Name
(SSID)
After you specify the network name on the Wireless Primary Network Page, many
wireless cards or adapters automatically scan for an access point, such as the SBG901
and the proper channel and data rate. If your card requires you to manually start scanning
for an access point, do so following the instructions in the documentation supplied with
the card. You must enter the same SSID in the wireless configuration setup for the
device to communicate with the SBG901.

Troubleshooting
If the solutions listed here do not solve your problem, contact your service provider.
Before calling your service provider, try pressing the Reset button on the rear panel of
the SBG901. Resetting the SBG901 may take five to 30 minutes. Your service provider
may ask for the status of the lights as described in
Front-Panel LEDs and Error
Conditions
.
Solutions
Table 1 – Troubleshooting Solutions
Problem
Possible Solution
Power light is off
Check that the SBG901 is properly plugged into the electrical outlet.
Check that the electrical outlet is working.
Press the Reset button.
Cannot send or
receive data
On the front panel, note the status of the LEDs and refer to
Front-
Panel LEDs and Error Conditions
to identify the error. If you have
cable TV, check that the TV is working and the picture is clear. If you
cannot receive regular TV channels, the data service will not function.
Check the coaxial cable at the SBG901 and wall outlet. Hand-tighten
if necessary.
Check the IP address. Follow the steps for verifying the IP address
for your system described in
Configuring TCP/IP
. Call your service
provider if you need an IP address.
Check that the Ethernet cable is properly connected to the SBG901
and the computer.
If a device is connected via the Ethernet port, verify connectivity by
checking the LINK LEDs on the rear panel.

Troubleshooting

Problem
Possible Solution
Wireless client(s)
cannot send or receive
data
Perform the first four checks in “Cannot send or receive data.”
Check the Security Mode setting on the Wireless Primary Network
Page:
If you enabled WPA and configured a passphrase on the SBG901,
be sure each affected wireless client has the identical passphrase.
If this does not solve the problem, check whether the wireless
client supports WPA.
If you enabled WEP and configured a key on the SBG901, be sure
each affected wireless client has the identical WEP key. If this
does not solve the problem, check whether the client’s wireless
adapter supports the type of WEP key configured on the SBG901.
To temporarily eliminate the Security Mode as a potential issue,
disable security.
After resolving your problem, be sure to re-enable wireless security.
On the Wireless Access Control Page, be sure the MAC address
for each affected wireless client is correctly listed.
Slow wireless
transmission speed
with WPA enabled
On the Wireless Primary Network Page, check whether the WPA
Encryption type is TKIP. If all of your wireless clients support AES,
change the WPA Encryption to AES.
